Thanks!

 

I have some older CCI 50g that shoot well out of my Savage 93. Federal produces some containers and Cabela's has them at this time.

Anything will kill a rabbit. Anything! Woodchucks are a different story. I’ve been a big fan of the 22wmr for fifty years. I’ve owned quite a few of them and I’ve hunted a lot of woodchucks with that cartridge. I can tell you for a fact that the 50 shoots very well, but it does NOT perform as well as the 40 grain on woodchucks. With the 50g I have about half of all chucks shot make it to the hole. With the 40g it’s way, way less. Almost all don’t make it to the hole. They simply don’t expand all that well at the reduced velocity. I went back to using the 40g.

 

I use 30 grain vmax in my Mossberg chuckster and they are devastating on game especially grey squirrels

 

And what are the results when shooting game like rabbits with the 50 grain versus the 30 grainers? Do they penetrate more?

If you want to EAT the rabbits, the 50gr bullet is probably a better choice than the 30gr bullet.
I use the 50gr Federal load for shooting fur bearers like foxes or racoons, they make a tiny hole in/out and are pretty effective with a double lung or shoulder shot. The 30gr HP's out in the market are pretty destructive when shooting rabbits and squirrels raiding the garden.

 

Those rabbits are so fast you really got a know how to hunt them to get them with a 22...what I do is walk...stop..and go.. that usually makes them run. But if I want to hit them when they're running the 12 gauge works best for me LOL

 

Federal makes a 50 gr load. My Annie loves it.

 

Federal Gameshok is good stuff and my go-to ammo!

 

I’ve got some and they shoot pretty good prob on par with CCI 40gr hp just not as fast…
